I suggest fixing this at the VERY end of your warranty. If anyone looked at this particular TSIB in detail it envolves disassembling your engine.

No way in hell I'm going to take my new Lexus in for this TSIB have have them disassemble my entire engine especially since this problem has NO negative effect on your engine. Just 1 second annoying buzzing sound.

Sometimes the dealer can't even change your oil correctly. No way the dealer is touching my car to do this TSIB anytime soon. Having them do this TSIB increases the chance for the dealer to f""K something up.

No I would have it fixed way before the end of your warranty. So if you have any related problems from the job there wouldn't be any problem having it fixed at no charge.

Yeah, no joke! Sometimes the dealer can't even clean your car w/o f*#king something up (such as the finish on my leather seats).

True but you'll have to prove it was from the repair. That would be very hard.
